ROM Hack Importing X/Y Overworld & Battle Models into OR/AS

[Xeogran]

So this is the one thing I'm having problems with, and would do a lot to learn about such process. Has anyone thought about it? I've tried comparing the same models from both games (Nurse Joy for example) in a hex editor, and they're built pretty differently despite looking identical.

I would be grateful to heavens if someone came up with a solution.

They're a different BCH version, right? Ask Kaphotics, I think.

They're just compiled differently, literally pointless in importing them

 

[Xeogran]

What do you mean by pointless? There is no Lysandre in OR/AS, and I was planning to include him in my hack rom.

Ohhhhh okay, then simply copy and paste.

I tried but the game crashes. I tried importing only the model without animation file and the same thing happened :s

Im suprised nobody has tagged @Kaphotics yet

Posts #2 & #3 answer the question accurately.

If you want to reimport you're gonna have to create a new model. The BCH versions used by the sets of games are different.

But isnt the model in the romfs of oras if im not mistaken?

Edit: IE all x and y models

Only the five friends in battle models. Don't exactly know about overworld ones.

Oh. I vaguely remember looking through the romfs in ohana3d and seeing a ton of sprites that I didn't recognize as being from oras

They must have been over world then

Sprites? Might be some leftovers from X/Y when it comes to battle-intro, but I'm not sure.
There are a lot of dummy slots for overworld models, so you might have seen something there.

Like I said I vaguely remember this b/c I was searching through the files to see where oras overworld player models were stored and I saw all of the friends and a bunch of other npcs not in oras. They seemed to be full models as the had textures with them. I didnt try to mess with any battle intros, just overworld sprites.

 

[Thelostrune]

overworld sprites.

Triggering.

Anyway yes, there's likely leftovers from X/Y because of a lot of other reused assets.
I don't know if these made a "BCH v2" conversion or not, though. I mean the fact that X/Y models can't be read properly makes me believe that they did undergo some other compiling.
